THE LOST AMETHYST"
SAN Francisco, Sept. 9.-The. mys-
terry of the whaler Amethyst, which
has not been seen since September,
1885, and about which so many tales
have been told, appears to be clear
ing up. The mate of the Angel Dolly,
one OF the Sealers seized by the
revenue cutter Richard Rush, is in
the city. He says when he was
cruising about the northern islands
OF the Choumagin group, the hull OF
a vessel was sighted high up on the
beach. 1t was found that she was
the missing Amethyst and that she
was broken in two. Two boats were
swung from the davits, but every
thing was deserted and the cabin
was III confusion. There was moth
ing to indicate the fate OF the crew,
but hopes are entertained that some
OF them may be alive.

VICE AND DEATH.
SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Sept. 9.-This
afternoon in a crowded restaurant
Frank Knight, aged 35, of hitherto
good reputation, met Miss Ida Wal
lace. a young woman whose conduct
has made her a subject of scandal,
and without warning and in a COM
monplace conversation he drew q re-
volver and shot Ida in the right ear.
She fell unconscious and the horri-
fed spectators allowed Knight to
walk out with his smoking revolver.
He went directly to the po-
lice station and surrendered.
He merely stated that he had shot
the girl because she had given him a
disease which he had communicated
to his wife, causing her death. The
deceased, Mrs. knight, left her hus-
baud a few months before her death
and having no friends she went to
the county almshouse and died OF a
most loathesome malady. She was
very well behaved and respectable.
Ada Wallace is unconscious, and the
physicians say she will die.
